Currently the converter chain for DocBook -> PDF (ps2pdf) is the following:

  docbook -> DVI
  DVI -> Postscript
  Postscript -> PDF (ps2pdf)

The converter for docbook -> DVI is: sgmltools -b dvi $$i

sgmltools has a backend for postscript also. Is there any disadvantage
to having the following as the converter?
sgmltools -b ps $$i

That would obviate the (at least, external) dvi to ps conversion.

If the ps backend should be supported, I assume that it should be
added in addition to, and not instead of, the dvi converter?
